Outlook AddIn troubleshooting

Problem

While sending a regify mail, you get the following error-message "regify redemption problem":

Your installation seems corrupt. Redemption.dll is to old (V4.x.y.z). Please install the latest regify setup.

Solution

In this case, the setup has not been able to install the new redemption.dll in the system folder. This is, because an already existing version is older than V4.7. This happens mostly if other Outlook-AddIns are installed. This one seems to use an extreme old version of this file (V4.0 is from 2005, 4.5 is from 2007, V4.7 is our minimum and this startet on February 2009).

solution options:

  1. remove the incompatible AddIn and re-install regify again. This should install the new redemption.dll and the AddIn should run fine. Sadly, you can not use the old AddIn anymore.
  2. register the regify redemption.dll explicitely:
    XP: start menu -> "Run..." -> regsvr32 "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\redemption.dll"
    Vista/7 64 Bit: start menu -> commandline -> regsvr32 "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\redemption.dll"
    Vista/7 32 Bit: start menu -> commandline -> regsvr32 "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\redemption.dll"
  3. sometimes, the 'bad' AddIn is allways activating his version (like funambol addin). You can try to exchange their redemption.dll with the one of regify.


Problem

After installation, the Outlook AddIn is not appearing

Solution

There are two knows reasons for this:

  1. You are using Outlook 64 bit version. Solution: install the 32 bit version of MS Office.
  2. Your office setup is corrupted. Solution: we can not help in fixing this, but you can choose the custom installation and manually activate the Outlook AddIn in the regify setup.
